If the piston ring gap is too small, it can lead to increased pressure buildup in the combustion chamber, causing the rings to bind or become damaged. This excessive pressure may result in poor sealing, leading to blow-by, oil consumption, and reduced engine performance. Additionally, it can cause overheating and premature wear of the piston rings and cylinder walls. Overall, a too-small piston ring gap can significantly compromise engine efficiency and longevity.

Is the 1.6 liter motor is it known to put the rod threw the piston when it throws timing belt?

if the timing belt goes especially at high rpm the crank continues to spin but the cams do not and engine shut down doesnt occur until damage is done, i think a valve was open when the piston came up and something had to give. i dont know if its common but its definitely possible

It depends what kind of revs you were doing. If they were high, then it is possible that you could have snapped a crank, or damaged a piston. However if they were low, then there may be no damage at all
